1972 The Poseidon Adventure

Yes, that's funny! Who runs a ship full speed to the scrap heap--especially if they're just on a cruise? Even the fastest ships of their time cruise at half-speed toward their final berth at the scrap yard.
That bit about the shipping line's owner insisting on top speed despite impending danger, it has a familiar ring doesn't it?
The author was borrowing from the true-life story of the Titanic.
That's not really "Nonnie" doing the singing. While looking up the Poseidon trivia, the name of a vocal double came up: Renee Armand.
Country singer-songwriter Renee Armand in 1975.

With The Poseidon Adventure, for the author of the novel it was a case of art imitating life--well, almost. The film was modeled on the legendary Queen Mary, from which the author was inspired to write the novel after a couple of frightening experiences aboard the liner.
Paul Gallico was inspired to write his novel by a voyage he made on the Queen Mary. When he was having breakfast in the dining room, the liner was hit by a large wave, sending people and furniture crashing to the other side of the vessel. He was further inspired by a true incident which occurred aboard the Queen Mary during World War II. Packed with American troops bound for Europe, the ship was struck by a gargantuan freak wave in the North Atlantic. It was calculated that if the ship had rolled another five inches, she would have capsized like the Poseidon.
and
Such mid-ocean "rogue waves" were previously thought to occur only once every ten thousand years. A 2004 study of satellite radar images showed they can happen as often as hundreds of times every decade.

Captain Harrison did everthing he could...
...but that evil doer, the rep of Poseidon's new owners, Mr. Linarcos,
insisted that she run at full speed towards her demise, the scrap pile
in Athens, which preventing the ship from taking on additional ballast.
